One image from my Skywatcher ed72 and one from my ts130 so I then let Astropixel processor do its things and it combined them both into one giant image I then had to downsample, the result is a much better version, I combined them in Photoshop and processed and voila. About 3 hours and a half of 10 minute total integration with the ED72 and 5 hours with the TS optics 130 APO All with the 294mc pro and the Optolong L-Extreme on the Skywatcher NeQ6 mount
